U.S. Sovereignty v Treason


Posted on July 10, 2014 Written by D.C. insid­ers drop hints of eras­ing bor­ders, uni­fy­ing with Mexico
NEW YORK – In recent weeks, both Gen­eral David Petraeus and House Minor­ity Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., have woven into pub­lic speeches the theme of com­bin­ing the United States, Canada and Mex­ico into a sin­gle, North Amer­i­can Union.
“After Amer­ica, there is North Amer­ica,” explained Petraeus, the for­mer U.S. mil­i­tary com­man­der and for­mer head of the CIA, to a panel enti­tled “After Amer­ica, What?” held at the Mar­garet Thatcher Con­fer­ence on Lib­erty on June 18, 2014, hosted by the Cen­ter for Pol­icy Stud­ies in Great Britain. In his pre­sen­ta­tion to the con­fer­ence, Petraeus pro­claimed the com­ing of the “North Amer­i­can decade,” a vision he explained was founded on the idea of putting together the economies of the United States, Canada and Mex­ico, some 20 years after the cre­ation of North Amer­i­can Free Trade Agree­ment, or NAFTA.
“In each of these economies there are four rev­o­lu­tions going on,” Petraeus con­tin­ued, nam­ing the fol­low­ing: an energy rev­o­lu­tion, in which the United States is lead­ing the world in the pro­duc­tion of nat­ural gas and shale oil, com­bined with Canada’s enor­mous resources in the Alberta tar sands and Mex­ico open­ing up the state-owned Pemex to inter­na­tional oil com­pa­nies; an infor­ma­tion and tech­nol­ogy rev­o­lu­tion led by Sil­i­con Val­ley; a man­u­fac­tur­ing rev­o­lu­tion; and a life sci­ences revolution. “The forces unleashed by these four rev­o­lu­tions with all three coun­tries being as highly inte­grated as they are, with Canada and Mex­ico being our two top trad­ing part­ners, I believe we can argue that after Amer­ica comes North Amer­ica,” Petraeus explained.
The syl­labus for a sim­i­larly themed class Petraeus teaches at the City Uni­ver­sity of New York enti­tled “The Com­ing (North) Amer­i­can Decade(s)” includes the fol­low­ing course descrip­tion: “This sem­i­nar will seek to answer the ques­tion, ‘Are we on the thresh­old of the new (North) Amer­i­can decade(s)?’ To do so, we will: sur­vey the global eco­nomic sit­u­a­tion; exam­ine the ongo­ing energy, man­u­fac­tur­ing, life sci­ences, and infor­ma­tion tech­nol­ogy ‘rev­o­lu­tions’ in the United Sates; assess the impli­ca­tions each rev­o­lu­tion has for the U.S. and the global econ­omy; and deter­mine the poli­cies, prac­tices, reg­u­la­tions, and laws needed to enable the U.S. to cap­i­tal­ize on the oppor­tu­ni­ties pre­sented by the rev­o­lu­tions and thereby to con­tribute to the global eco­nomic recov­ery from the Great Recession.”
An exam­i­na­tion of the assigned read­ing spec­i­fied in the course syl­labus shows Petraeus has derived much of his think­ing from global eco­nomic sources in try­ing to project the future of North Amer­ica in com­pe­ti­tion with major regional forces includ­ing China, the EU, as well as Rus­sia, India and Brazil.
Pelosi sees U.S. and Mex­ico as “one nation” Speak­ing at the U.S. bor­der with Mex­ico on June 28, Pelosi addressed the cri­sis of thou­sands of unac­com­pa­nied chil­dren and teenagers from Cen­tral Amer­ica ille­gally cross­ing into the United States. Refer­ring to the United States and Mex­ico, Pelosi said, “This is a com­mu­nity with a bor­der going through it. And this cri­sis – that some call a ‘cri­sis’ – we have to view as an opportunity. “What we just saw was so stun­ning. If you believe as we do that every child, that every per­son, has a spark of divin­ity in them and is there­fore wor­thy of respect, what we saw in those rooms was [a] daz­zling, sparkling array of God’s chil­dren, wor­thy of respect. So … we have to use the cri­sis – that some view as a cri­sis, and it does have cri­sis qual­i­ties – as an oppor­tu­nity to show who we are as Amer­i­cans, that we do respect peo­ple for their divin­ity and worth,” she said.
Cham­pion of North Amer­i­can Union dies In Jan­u­ary, WND reported that Robert Pas­tor, a long-time pro­fes­sor of inter­na­tional rela­tions and direc­tor of the Cen­ter for North Amer­i­can Stud­ies, died at the age of 66 after a three-year bat­tle with cancer. On Oct. 31, 2013, just more than two months before he passed away, Pas­tor chaired a con­fer­ence at the Cen­ter for Amer­i­can Stud­ies at Amer­i­can Uni­ver­sity enti­tled “The NAFTA Promise and the North Amer­i­can Real­ity: The Gap and How to Nar­row It,” a con­fer­ence Pas­tor orga­nized to ful­fill a request made by Vice Pres­i­dent Joe Biden a month earlier.
At the U.S.-Mexico high-level eco­nomic dia­logue held on Sept. 20, 2013, at the Mex­i­can Min­istry of For­eign Affairs in Mex­ico City, Mex­ico, Biden gave a speech in which he com­mented, “You take a look at the United States, Mex­ico and Canada, you’d sit there and say, ‘Why? Why isn’t there even more coop­er­a­tion? It’s just so nat­ural geo­graph­i­cally, polit­i­cally, economically.” Amer­i­can Uni­ver­sity posted on its web­site on Oct. 30, the day before his last inter­na­tional con­fer­ence started, Pastor’s last remarks pre­pared for pub­li­ca­tion, includ­ing his vision of NAFTA at a cross­roads nearly 20 years after being implemented.
As WND reported, Pastor’s 2001 book, “Toward a North Amer­i­can Com­mu­nity,” pre­sented an argu­ment that North Amer­i­can inte­gra­tion should advance through devel­op­ing a “North Amer­i­can con­scious­ness” by cre­at­ing var­i­ous insti­tu­tions, includ­ing a North Amer­i­can cus­toms union and a North Amer­i­can Devel­op­ment Fund for the eco­nomic devel­op­ment of Mexico. Pas­tor also was vice chair­man of the May 2005 Coun­cil on For­eign Rela­tions task force report, “Build­ing a North Amer­i­can Com­mu­nity,” which presents itself as a blue­print for using bureau­cratic action though tri­lat­eral “work­ing groups” con­sti­tuted within the exec­u­tive branches of the United States, Mex­ico and Canada to advance the North Amer­i­can inte­gra­tion agenda.

This is treason. It’s time for impeachment.  We need to quit the U.N.  It’s time to quit NAFTA.  It’s time to bring charges of treason from the House.
